Lewis Hamilton takes Sprint Pole at Silverstone

sportsJul 3, 202625735

Lewis Hamilton claimed pole for Saturday’s sprint at Silverstone, edging Andrea Kimi Antonelli by 0.011 seconds after being quickest in all three qualifying stages. Championship leader Antonelli will start second, three places ahead of his closest points rival George Russell, who qualified fifth. Max Verstappen beat Charles Leclerc by 0.006 seconds to take third, meaning three different teams occupy the top three grid slots. Lando Norris qualified sixth after narrowly surviving SQ2, with Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto split by the two Audis behind them. Isack Hadjar showed pace early on the medium tyre but dropped to eighth after switching to softs. Williams’ upgrade got both FW48s through the first qualifying round, while Carlos Sainz Jr. beat Oliver Bearman for the final SQ2 spot by 0.01 seconds. Sergio Perez qualified more than a second ahead of the Aston Martins but remained roughly seven tenths away from a chance to progress to the later session.

F1 is better when Lewis is happy. Ferrari are listening to him and it’s paying dividends.

Whoever was weaving/heating tyres down the straight in front of LH certainly did NOT help by creating turbulent air across the whole width of the track.

No teammate has finished ahead of Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone since 2013. Lewis has finished ahead of his teammate in Silverstone 13 straight times entering 2026. His home turf.

F1 journalist Louis Dekker: I think Hamilton will announce his retirement at Silverstone and finish out the year. Fast forward to British GP, Fred Vasseur CONFIRMS that Lewis Hamilton will continue at Ferrari in 2027. Louis Dekker 🤡

I wish they would focus on Alonso's retirement.

Honestly feel like him and the other haters did Lewis a favor. The media being shitty to him always seems to fire him up in a "I'm going to prove these assholes wrong" sorta way. Like groundhog day, they're set for 6 more years of Lewis domination.
